Default nitro percentage for XL

My buddy just got an XL, and the recomended fuel is 25% He's got four gallons of 20%. Can he, use 20% in the XL, or should he buy some 25%? Our local hobby shop only carries Trinity Monster, and it has gone from 26 dollars a gallon to 45 per gallon.

Mine will be running on Byron's Gen 2 30 percent. I bought eight gallons, so we have a ways to go! I have been running 30 to 35 Trinity in all my big blocks for over a year now. Our local shop used to sell Byron's and I always liked it. So when I found some gallons reasonable, thanks to a fellow forum member, I bought some. BB

You can use 20%, 25%, and 30% with no poblems whatsoever. The timing pofile of th K5.9 is meant for about the 20% mark, but if you use higher %, it wil not suffer at all.
